Chargers select WR Dylan Cantrell No.191 overall in 2018 NFL draft

The Chargers have selected former Texas Tech wide receiver Dylan Cantrell in the sixth round (No. 191 overall) in the 2018 NFL draft.

Cantrell is 6-foot-3 and 226 pounds who possesses good speed as evidenced by his 4.59-second, 40-yard dash time. He was an All-Big 12 honorable mention after posting 71 receptions for 816 yards and seven touchdowns in 2017.

Another big-bodied target for quarterback Philip Rivers can never be a bad thing and Cantrell should pair quite nicely with Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams at the position from 40 yards in on drives.

Another workout wonder who killed this year’s combine drills, Cantrell is a solid perimeter blocker who could stick on a roster with this special teams ability.

During his career with Texas Tech Cantrell amassed 158 receptions for 1,873 yards and 18 touchdowns. General manager Tom Telesco added talent and production in the sixth round, which is something that few should be able to find a way to scoff at.
